AbstractA phosphor emitting both white light and broad near‐infrared (NIR) radiation can simultaneously provide visual inspection and early signs of rotting of food products. The broad NIR emission is absorbed by the vibrational overtones of water molecules present in food items, providing the non‐invasive image contrast to assess the food freshness. Here we design a phosphor, namely, Cr3+‐Bi3+‐codoped Cs2Ag0.6Na0.4InCl6, that simultaneously emit warm white light and broad NIR (1000 nm) radiation with quantum yield 27 %. This dual emitter is designed by combining the features ofs2‐electron (Bi3+) andd3‐electron (Cr3+) doping in a weak crystal field of the halide perovskite host.excitation of Bi3+, using a commercial 370 nm ultraviolet light‐emitting‐diodes (UV‐LED), yields both the emissions. A fraction of the excited Bi3+dopants emit the warm white light, and the other fraction transfers its energy non‐radiatively to Cr3+. Then the Cr3+de‐excites emitting broad NIR emission. Temperature dependent (6.4–300 K) photoluminescence in combination with Tanabe‐Sugano diagram show that the Cr3+experiences a weak crystal field (=2.2), yielding theNIR emission. As a proof of concept, we fabricated a panel containing 122 phosphor‐converted LEDs, demonstrating its capability to inspect food products.
